Cosmetic Hazardous Ingredient Right to Know Act of 2025

Key Points

• Cosmetic brand owners would have to list every single ingredient, including fragrance and flavor components, on their websites within one year of the law passing. This information must be in a machine-readable, accessible format and made available to online retailers.
• Within two years, all cosmetic product packaging must list every ingredient, including fragrance and flavor components. If a product contains chemicals linked to cancer or other health risks, the label must direct shoppers to a website with health impact information.
• The FDA would create and maintain a master list of hazardous chemicals within six months, drawing from 22 different lists maintained by groups like the EPA, CDC, the EU's REACH program, and the World Health Organization's cancer research agency.
• These rules cover both consumer products and professional-use cosmetics in settings like hair salons, nail salons, and spas. This means salon workers who handle products daily would gain the same ingredient transparency as retail shoppers.
• States would keep the right to pass even stricter ingredient disclosure or safety laws. The bill explicitly prevents the federal rules from being used to block stronger state protections.
